new week

Had a wonderful full weekend. Just the husband and I...the boys were with their other grandmother. We went thrift store shopping, out to visit mom, then out to eat. Sunday morning we went to church where the message was 'if you only had one month to live' and pastor Joe was great. He is a good speaker. The music was very good too. After church we drove to Elgin for barbeque. So nice. The weather was perfect and what more can a girl ask?

my mother

There is no good news about my mother. This past weekend was 'my' weekend to sit with her. Saturday morning when I got there she was very very sick. I sat with her all day and kept my eye on her. (we are lucky enough to have a good care giver) She is running fever, begging for water, and generally looking very bad. I called my oldest son who lives in Salado and told him if he wanted to see his grandmother alive again he had better come. He did come on Sunday to see her. Somehow, someway, she has managed to do a little better. I saw her last night and she was still 'hot' with fever and begging for water. (for you who do not know, my mother had a massive stroke and she lost the ability to swallow. Anything that goes into her mouth and is swallowed goes to her lungs not her stomach. She is fed through a tube in the stomach, she is given wanter through the same tube, she has had nothing by mouth since last June) This is so hard...Roxie
